A man is in the hospital after he fell overboard from a supply vessel about 10 miles south of Sabine Pass.

At about 6:25 a.m., members of the U.S. Coast Guard in Houston-Galveston in Galena Park got a call from the 97-foot offshore supply vessel Miss Mia, reporting the incident, according to a news release from the U.S. Coast Guard.

The man was rescued by a vessel belonging to the Lake Charles Pilots, the release states. The statement originally said a Sabine Pilots vessel rescued the man.
